Comparison
MakeMySiteLive vs Cloudflare Pages
Cloudflare Pages is a fast, developer-focused host built around Git deploys (or the Wrangler CLI) and the Cloudflare network, with Pages Functions for serverless logic. MakeMySiteLive is the no-setup option: upload a ZIP from a dashboard and your static site is live with free SSL and one-click rollback. Pro sites add a built-in password lock. Here’s the comparison.
